Dietrich Buxtehude Essentials

Dietrich Buxtehude Essentials

Dietrich Buxtehude was one of the most strikingly original composers of the North German Baroque, and renowned as one of the most incredible organists and improvisers of his time. He was a major influence on J. S. Bach, who once walked more than 250 miles just to hear him play. And in these choral, chamber, and instrumental works—which are beautifully crafted yet utterly spontaneous—you’ll hear some of the seeds of Bach’s own genius.
